Talking about the epidemic: Russia will actively promote new crown vaccination

So far, after the Russian-made new crown vaccine has been vaccinated, there has not been a single case of serious side effects.

The vaccination of the new crown vaccine will only be carried out on a voluntary basis.

　　At present, there are many rumors about the source of the new crown virus. Putin said: "What we have to do is not to find the responsible party, but to unite to solve the problem."
